| scruffybunny said: I think Pachter is right when he more or less said that the Wii needs a reboot. The situation with Motion plus, HD TVs, storage limits, WiiWare size limits, piracy, their online model, region locking, graphics limits. But Ninty will probably see what happens with Natal/Wand before doing anything. They do need more exciting titles, every big release it seems is an old franchise or new casual/kiddie title, or its on rails. They need a guilty pleasure bombastic over-hyped type title x) I think Wii has proven that if Ninty made no money at all on the console, they can still sell warehouses worth of a Wii Sports title. |
Wii would only need a reboot if it were selling less than the competition on a continuous basis WW, or not making a profit for Nitnendo, otherwise Nintendo can just wait until next gen

It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
